CONSENT FOR TREATMENT AND CONFIDENTIALITY

I agree to participate in psychotherapy with Dr. Jay Joseph of my own free will. I understand that all information I disclose in therapy sessions is strictly confidential. However, I also understand that under certain circumstances disclosure is mandated or permitted by law. For instance, when there is reasonable suspicion of physical and/or sexual abuse of children or the elderly, and when a client is likely or intends to harm himself or herself (suicide) or others (homicide).

I agree to attend counseling sessions regularly. If I cannot keep my appointment, I agree to call at least 24 hours in advance to cancel. If I do not cancel or reschedule at least 24 hours in advance of my session, I understand that I may be charged the full fee for the session.
